the world is at stake

The Communist Party of Turkey has been fighting wars all year round, and has only a very vague concept of how to carry out industrialization.Now East Germany has helped to formulate a set of national industrial development plans, so that the leadership has a clear understanding of future goals.

The prime minister nodded again and again, "The chairman was very happy after reading our work report not long ago, and made a special order, requiring steel production to catch up with the UK within 15 years, and surpass the United States in 20 years."

Hey... the slogan of 'catch up with the Premier League' appeared many years in advance.

Chapter 74 Rapid Development

The Prime Minister and Xiao Jinlang came to Tianjin Port for inspection, and beside them stood a 'Hans' from East Germany, holding a pen and paper and writing something down.

There was a famous translator next to him, and he approached the Prime Minister and said a few words, "Mr. Muller believes that our standardized logistics system still has a lot of room for improvement, especially the wooden containers should be enlarged and replaced with steel materials."

Both the Prime Minister and Xiao Jinlang smiled wryly at the opinion of "international friends".Everyone knows that the material of steel is better, and the larger the container, the better, but it cannot be done in China!

In 50 years, the national steel output was 61 tons, most of which were raw and wrought iron smelted by blacksmiths.Not only is the quantity small, but the quality is also poor, and there is even a lack of profile processing capabilities-now it is good to use wood.

But 'Hans' continued to whisper with a straight face.

The translator relayed: "Mr. Muller said that the logistics system centered on standard containers should be promoted in the communist camp as soon as possible. Because it improves work efficiency by at least two or three times and greatly reduces transportation costs."

In the current China, if some ideas and achievements in technology are recognized by foreigners, this kind of national pride arises spontaneously.The accompanying leaders and port personnel were all overjoyed and honored.

'Hans' also took the initiative to chat with Xiao Jinlang, who 'invented' this logistics system, and discussed the application scenarios and development of standard containers very seriously.

Xiao Jinlang didn't have a lot of goods in his stomach. He only said that he needed special ocean-going freighters, ports and docks, container cranes and trucks, and even roads and railways needed to be rebuilt for it.

Once the size of the container is fixed, the design of many industrial products will be determined by it - just like the diameter of the core stage of China's "Long March" series rockets has been only 3.35 meters for a long time, and it was stuck by railway transportation.

Although it was just a few words from the experience of later generations, it made 'Hans' keep recording and nodding.He also said to the Prime Minister that you, Comrade Xiao, are very forward-looking on industrial development and layout.

The Prime Minister agrees, laughing.

A group of people talked about industrial topics, and at the same time visited the equipment being hoisted from the freighter.The reason why the Prime Minister came is because this set of equipment is extremely important - a Portland cement rotary kiln production line with an annual output of 50 tons.

The backwardness of old China is unimaginable to future generations. Cement, foreign nails, match, and foreign oil are all words bearing the imprint of the times.Xiao Jinlang went deep into this era, and seeing the hard life of his ancestors, he often couldn't sleep at night, almost suffocating in pain.

The current set of second-hand equipment is not expensive, including raw material crushing, raw material preparation, clinker firing, etc., but it is more important than equipment such as power generation, mining and steelmaking.

Because construction is inseparable from cement, and the amount needed is huge.This thing cannot be imported, it must be produced by itself.

Not only to get the cement, but also to get the cement production equipment.

However, the domestic production of building materials has been lagging behind for a long time. It was not easy to build a house in the 80s and get some bricks and cement. Naturally, there was no big development in urban construction.

The inspectors accompanying the Prime Minister also included many directors of industrial departments.Everyone wants to see if they have the ability to imitate the American cement production line.

If there are technical deficiencies, it would be better to ask friends from the Soviet Union and East Germany for help.

The 'Hans' who accompanied the investigation was a technical expert from East Germany.He didn't care much about the cement production line, and said that the GDR was fully capable of providing a complete set of equipment.

It's just that the Chinese people who are used to being poor all laugh, always thinking that they can produce a little bit, be diligent and frugal, and make breakthroughs gradually.There is no harm in knowing American technology.

'Hans' Müller didn't care, either talking about what equipment East Germany had to offer or how the standard container would change logistics.When the on-site inspection was nearing the end, he suddenly frowned and asked:

"In the past six months, how much American equipment has your country imported?"

This issue is a bit sensitive, because there is no import at all, it is all 'junk' picked up from the United States, and no domestic money is spent.

However, Mueller did a simple mental calculation based on the situation he knew. He frowned and looked at the non-stop cranes on the pier. "You have imported too much equipment in half a year, so much that our aid staff can't handle it."

This is true.

In the past three months, all domestic industrial sectors have been working continuously, and dozens of large and small projects have been launched in one go.The construction period of large projects is long, and the results are not visible at present.But small projects can be built and put into use in just two or three months.

For example, in order to allow the cranes in Tianjin Port to work 24 hours a day, the port is equipped with two diesel power stations, both of which are about [-] kilowatts of equipment, dismantled from scrapped American ships.

These devices are small in size and weight, and are far simpler to install than large coal-fired units.

Zhou Qingfeng acquired hundreds of such power generation equipment, and also asked corrupt officials of the Kuomintang to provide fuel, which immediately provided a relatively stable power supply for several major cities in the country.

Muller came to China half a year ago. He clearly remembers that no matter where he went, it was like going to a primitive tribe, with low buildings and dirty street scenes everywhere.The populism that many Chinese are proud of is just a sideshow for people to laugh at.

The civilization and history that have gone through thousands of years have long faded away, leaving only broken bricks and ruins.

But the ruling ability of the Communist Party of Turkey is not good enough. After the material conditions keep up, the country changes every month, and several big cities are rapidly rejuvenated.

The infrastructure is not good, fix it!

Under Xiao Jinlang's proposal, the soil shared the saved military loans to import grain from the Soviet Union and organize a large number of rural laborers to work in cities.

Building water conservancy, laying roads, and expanding ports, there are many capable jobs.

In the port of Tianjin right in front of Muller, tens of thousands of tons of waste tires were hoisted to the pier and sent by trucks to a crushing plant to be turned into rubber granules.

The pellets are packed into wooden containers and transported by rail to Moscow and East Berlin, thousands of miles away.

The Soviet Union was located in a very cold place, no rubber was produced, the chemical industry was not well developed, and artificial rubber could not be manufactured.The industries of Eastern European countries are also inseparable from rubber. It is simply incredible that China can provide rubber granules.

In recent months alone, China has provided rubber to the Soviet Union in exchange for thousands of construction machinery.The imperial capital began to build the Miyun Reservoir in advance, which will consume less manpower and speed up the construction.

In Muller's view, the speed of change is astonishing.When he first came, the road from the imperial capital to Tianjin was still full of potholes.Two months later, the hundreds of kilometers of roads were smoothed by road rollers.

Although no cement was used to build the road, at least people who drive on it will not hurt their buttocks.

And this port, how could there be any large cranes half a year ago?On the wharf, goods are basically moved by manpower.If you want to lift a large piece of several tons or tens of tons, you must rely on the two cranes that come with the 'Freewheel'.

If there is no "free ship" of [-] tons, most of the coastal transport ships will be tens of tons or hundreds of tons, and they will not be able to transport heavy cargo at all, and the efficiency will be extremely low.

Every month, ten "Liberty Ships" join domestic shipping. Not to mention the capacity provided, the top leaders of the Turkish Communist Party including the Prime Minister were extremely shocked, and even Su Delai's experts were also very happy.

Shipping by sea is much more convenient than land transportation!

Just transporting the grain from the south to the north will solve many problems.

Now there are [-] tons of "free wheels", and more than a dozen cranes are lined up on the newly built wharf, and the loading and unloading speed is more than ten times higher than in the past.

Behind this is the full power operation of the diesel power station, which can not only supply the wharf, but also protect the city government and industrial and mining enterprises.

Muller has traveled a lot around the imperial capital recently, and he clearly feels that there are more and more areas that can get power supply, which is very different from the scene where the whole city was completely dark at night half a year ago.

"Your development speed is really too fast. I guess China's power generation will double in the past six months. Industrial output will explode."

Muller sighed, "I have seen the literacy classes and night schools you are running, and they are indeed a bit like the pre-industrial revolution in Germany.

When Germany started its industry, the quality of its products was also very poor, which forced the British to engage in trademarks.You are at a similar stage now. Although you have various problems, you are already on the right path. "

These words made everyone present proud, but when they thought about it carefully, they were quite sad.Just because the country is not strong enough, China has suffered a lot in the past hundred years.

It is not easy for the country to gain independence, but it is just the starting point for another career.

Even the prime minister was in a mixed mood.The influx of a large number of machinery and equipment in the past six months has indeed brought great convenience to domestic development, but it has also caused a huge impact.

Just a dozen or so cranes at the wharf have replaced thousands of porters in the past.These people have to eat, drink, and support their families, and they have to be reassigned to work.

There are many similar cases. Many cadres are not capable enough to solve new problems. Instead, they are worried that industrialization will impact traditional society and demand to slow down the progress of industrial construction.

If it hadn't been for Xiao Jinlang's argument and his support from Su De, many cadres would find various excuses to lower their development expectations, and then use their limited resources to industries that are destined to be eliminated.

"Time, time." The Prime Minister sighed in a low voice: "As long as we can develop steadily and steadily for decades, all problems will no longer be problems."

What he said was correct, but Xiao Jinlang opened his mouth and didn't speak.The Turkish Communist Party has taken many detours in its industrial development, and only hopes that it can be corrected this time.

But 'Hans' Muller heard the translator's report, and said angrily:

"It is impossible to be stable. From the perspective of Germany's industrial development, if it is replaced by a country with the size and population of China, it will encroach on the interests of other countries if it becomes slightly stronger. The contradictions cannot be reconciled."

Hey... It's no wonder that it was the source of two major wars, and the German guy had the tone of "iron and blood" when he opened his mouth.

The Prime Minister can only smile, it is not good to make comments.At the end of his investigation, he had a private conversation with Xiao Jinlang, and asked, "The current turmoil in the American political arena, will it have any impact on Zhou Qingfeng?"

The scandal caused by MacArthur has spread all over the world, and there is no explanation until now.

The U.S. Congress and the Department of Defense are also being roasted on the fire. They wish they could investigate clearly and shoot all these 'bold and reckless' idiots, but they also hope to appease the public, calm things down, and stop embarrassing themselves.

Hearing this question, Xiao Jinlang smiled wryly, thinking to himself: "Prime Minister, you don't even believe it. That brat Zhou Qingfeng did it.

Originally, he was trapped in the trap and was forced to escape, but in the end, he messed up the situation and beat his opponent like he was in a prison. "

I thought so, but Xiao Jinlang still couldn't hold back when he opened his mouth, he only talked about Zhou Qingfeng's difficulties, "Zhou Qingfeng is fine in the United States, but he encountered some troubles in Europe.

There was a set of chemical equipment that was purchased with a relationship with the Jews. Now the other party took the deposit but refused to perform the contract with various excuses. "

After hearing Xiao Jinlang's brief introduction, the Prime Minister asked with a retreating attitude: "Could it be that the other party really has difficulties? Those who are willing to cooperate with us can always be more tolerant."

Xiao Jinlang was stunned, and immediately raised his voice and said, "Prime Minister, don't think too well of foreigners. There are too many scumbags in it. Many foreigners deliberately get close to us, but in fact they have no good intentions and just want to take advantage."

The country is too weak now, and foreign affairs are always compromised.

The Prime Minister has fought with European and American powers and their lackeys for most of his life, so he doesn't know the truth.He asked in a deep voice, "So what now?"

"Xiao Zhou is so angry. In the past, he would have gone to Europe to knock people's heads. But now he can't leave, so he can only stare blankly in the United States." Xiao Jinlang was also very angry.

'Holy Light' was extremely tight on funds, and the Jewish profiteers took the deposit and stopped working, which was really annoying.

The Prime Minister asked again, "Europe? That country?"

"The other party is the leader of the Zionist Organization. He has no fixed residence, but he has been in France all year round."

"You write a report to me, maybe you can ask comrades in the Soviet Union to help."

"Soviet comrades? Can they do it?"

"Comrade Beria owes us a lot of favors recently."

"Oh, that's no problem, that's it!"

Let those Jewish profiteers taste the iron fist of socialism.

Chapter 75 The Soviets Are Watching You

When the "Holy Light" team turned the world upside down in the dungeon, it naturally spread its influence to the Soviet Union.The continuous victories of the Volunteers on the Korean battlefield will inevitably require someone to also receive credit in the Soviet Union.

After all, the Soviet Union provided great assistance in many aspects such as equipment, logistics and intelligence, and the news of victory must be reported to Comrade Stalin as quickly as possible-it is always easier to get rewards for announcing the good news.

However, it is worth discussing who should report this good news. Under normal circumstances, the news can only be reported by the diplomatic system. The attitude of the top leaders of the Turkish Communist Party towards Beria is actually quite subtle.

But Xiao Jinlang asked whether he should take the initiative to have a relationship with Soviet Minister of the Interior Beliala.Firstly, this person was very trusted around Stalin; secondly, Beria held a high position in the Soviet Union.

Although both are Communists, the Soviet Union and the Turkish Communist Party are very different.

The Communist Party of Turkey still has "democratic centralism", and the chairman also opposes "one word".A few years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old man voluntarily retreated to the second line - but his successor messed around, and he had to take the blame.

But the politics of the Soviet Union really depended entirely on people.After Stalin drank some wine and rejoiced, a lot of aid was sent over.

The same goes for Beria.

If you can get along with this guy, and the other party shows a little bit of a finger, the Turkish Communist Party will get a lot of benefits-from the beginning to the end, the Soviet Union did not get rid of this problem.

For the Turkish Communist Party's initiative to show favor, Beria was quite surprised at first.He is a tool man beside Stalin, who can implement Uncle Steel's decision without any discount.

But Beria is not without ideas of his own.

After Stalin's death, the Minister of Internal Affairs immediately revised many of Stalin's policies, trying to change them—but he was too hasty and careless, and was overthrown by Khrushchev when he seized the opportunity.The process of dry turning is very rough, typical Maozi style.

Now, Beria is happy to reach a tacit agreement with the Turkish Communist Party. Although there is no direct contact, there is no benefit in taking care of each other. In fact, Khrushchev also needs the support of the Turkish Communist Party to come to power.

Xiao Jinlang wrote a report on obstacles encountered in purchasing petrochemical equipment in Europe.The Prime Minister edited the report and sought help from the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs through diplomatic channels.

The words are very frank - we tried to purchase equipment from France through covert channels, and now the deposit has been given, but there seems to be a problem with the agent in France.Can Soviet comrades help us find out what's going on?

There are formal diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and France, and it is easy to check this kind of thing.Beria felt that doing such a small favor to Chinese comrades was not worth mentioning, so he casually ordered his subordinates to investigate.

The investigation was also quick, and the situation was clarified within a few days—there were Jews on the other side, who should have grasped this shady purchase and wanted to swallow a $1000 million deposit.

Seeing this report, Beria was very happy.

Europe has a tradition of 'anti-Semitism', Hitler did something out of line, other countries are not bad at all.

Stalin is a typical 'anti-Semite', but he did not send all the Jews to the Gulag labor camps out of national interests.

After World War II, when the Zionists wanted to create 'Israel', the Soviet Union supported it.But the Jews in the Soviet Union suffered from open policy discrimination.

Beria forwarded the investigation to the Chinese side, and did not forget to make a report to Uncle Steel, "Dear Comrade Stalin, China is seeking to obtain a complete set of petrochemical production equipment from Western Europe."

When China asked the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs for help, it also told Stalin.Uncle Steel enjoys being the head of a big socialist family, and he solves some trivial troubles for his younger brothers.

"Isn't China an oil-poor country?" Stalin wondered.

“It is said that China has discovered continental oil reservoirs in its northeast region, and even discovered gushing wells.” Beria explained: “They hope to produce and refine oil by themselves.”

"Can't the Soviet Union provide the corresponding equipment that Chinese comrades need?" Stalin continued to ask.

This is not a good answer.

Although the petrochemical industry in the Soviet Union is not small in scale, its refining technology has always been poor, and it cannot produce high-grade oil products.This matter has been dragged on until its disintegration has not been resolved.

Even Russia can only be called a major oil producer, but not a refining power.

When Beria mentioned that the Soviet Union did not have the corresponding technology, Stalin's nationalism came to the fore.He made a decision on the spot to import two sets of petrochemical production equipment from France and the Netherlands through official diplomatic and commercial channels, and sell one to China.
